Come one, comeall? and hear your rights, your duties, and yourprinciples in the coming contest, as expoundedby your gellant young Senator.OdessA, Oct. 15, 1870.Many Voters.THE BLACK MAN.The introduction of the blaok raoe intoAmerica had its origin in the necessitiesof labor and the passion of cupidity, notloss than in the abject and savage condition ia which the white man found thenegro in his own native Africa. BeforeIbe African waa enslaved by tho whitoman, he was the victim of the most cruelfete at home. Petty kings of Dative tribeswere perpetually engaged in war withoaoh other, and it was the practioe of these•arage chiefs to slay their captives in battle, or to sacrifice thousands of thorn at atime to add importance to their publicfetes. Rut when tho slavo trade turnedthese captives into a sourco of profit toUwir savage conquerors, thero was nomore sacrifice of priioners taken in batile,hot they were sold to the Spaniards, thePortuguese, the Dutch and the English,as slaves. Spain, Portugal, and their insular dependencies, and tho English andDutch eolonies in America, were thuspeopled with thoso barbarians from theAfrican coast. It has been said that theMaytower, whioh landed Capt. Standiehand hie company at Plymouth Rook, madeheir very next voyage to Jamestown; Va.with a cargo of slaves. That they werebonofitted by thoir transfer to America,does not admit of a doubt. Theytaken from a land of heathenism and grosBmoral darkness, and brought to the lightof oivilixation and Christianity, and theirphysical, mental, and moral condition, ovarjway improved. Here, in his normalaaadition at social and politioal subordination to the white man, from the first settlement of the eolonies until now, thenegro has thriven and multiplied, untiltho raoe ia these United States now numbers between four and fivo millions. Herethey have been more happy and moreprosperous, than any equal number oftheir race have ever been in any otherquarter of the world. Their labor washighly benefioial to tho development ofthis oountry. They have assisted ouroeators, for two centuries, in felling theforest and in tilling tho soil, to the mutualraces. Rut, a ohange hasoome over this order of things. Afterviolent agitation for more thantiou, culminating in civil war, tho negrohas been aet free; and from a serf, he hasbeoome a citizen, clothed with all the rightsaud immunities of citizenship, and forcedfrom his condition of dependence upon thewhite man, into a position where he iscompelled to think and aet and shift forhimself, and is furoed into a position of rivalry and antagonism towards the whiteraoe, a position whioh he is unfitted bynature to maintain. Time will demonttrate (kit truth. The negro hag reachedthe culminating point in his development,and he will dow gravitate downward, fromthia time henceforth. Let it not be supposed that this remark is attributable toany prejudice towards tho race, on ourpart. On the contrary, wo have everaheriahed the most kiudly feeliugs towardsthem in their sphere, and desire only theirwelfare. But, wo do not think their welfare will be subserved by their enfranohisemont, and by the course of life onwhioh they are now likely to enter. Hitherto the antagonism of the whito raoe towards the negroea has been held in ubeyaaoa, by a sense of their dependence andsubordinate position. But, now that thelaw has attempted to place them upon anequal footing with the whites, and theythemselves ora disposed to assert thatequality, encouraged to do so by designing white men for their own selfish purposes, that antagonism, called into play bythe causes above alluded to, will speedilymanifest itself, and make itself felt, morewereanbenefit of botha generaand more, until the promised blessings offreedom and enfranchisement, to thegro raoe, like the apples of Sodom, willturn to ashes upon their lips. Nature hassot bounds between the white man and theblack, which cannot be pasted with impunity, The white man cannot overcomebis natural repugnanee to the negro, therefbre it is unwise in our lawgivers to enactlaws having a tendency to bring tho tworaces upon a plane of equality, and therefore into antagonism. Equals they cannotbe, for nature has made them so dissimilar that it it doing groat violence to herlaws to attempt to make any approachestowards equality. This Is as true in apolitical and social sense as it is in a natural sense. The two races cannot livepeaceably and harmoniously together, except tho black raco be in a stato of subordination. The 14th and 15th amendmentshavo placed it in a stato of insubordination, a state whioh will develop more andmore tho natural incongruity and antipathy between tho races, and their irreconcilable incompatibility. The Republicans, as well as the Democrats, will acknowledge this truth, in timo. For thopresent, an unworthy partisanship has impelled tho Republican party to take theuegro by tho hand, and to court his support in a party sonso. This evil will ultimately oure itself. The blacks will notcontiuue to support the Republican partywithout a share of the offices. To accedeto thoir demands would cause such widespread defection in the Republican party,as to give the Democrats an oasy viotoryover them. It is needless to say that theDemooratio party, reinvested with politicalpower, would speedily restore this government to what it was intonded to be byits founders—a government for white mennd would brush away as cobwebs, by amero resolution of Congress, those fraudswhich are known as the 14th and 15thamendments, and all the "enforcement''and " rooonBtruction" acts which havepolluted our statute-bookB under the debasing rule of Radicalism. The 13th amendment will stand. No one desires to seethe negro a slave again, not even his former master upon the plantations of theSouth. Wo would protect him in all hisrights of person and property, under thelaw, but political and social equality withthe white man, he cannot havo. If thonegro is not satisfied with this state ofthings, let him betake himself to his ownnative clime, Liboria, or to Hayti, wherehe can enjoy the largest liberty and gratify his highest aspirations without interference from tho white man. Is there anyhardship in this ? No, it is the dictateof reason and of common sense, that hoshould go to that clime where the authorof his being intended he should live, andtp which ho is adapted by nature. Nowhite man has part or lot in the government of Liberia or of Hayti. They aretha governments of the black man, andthe soil as well as the institutions are his.If he sighs for perfect freedom, let him gothere, where his highest aspirations maybe gratified. We would even assist himto go, as an act of simple justice to thedescendants of those who were brought,against their will, from Afrioa here.There, a genial clime and the spontaneousfruits of the earth combine to render lifenemore easy and more agreeable to him.There, no winter's cold will chill him, andno wintry season has to be provided for,but the earth yields her increase all theyear round, and he has but to stretch forthhis hand and pluck and eat. There lethim go. If he will stay here, it must bein a position of subordination to tho whitorace, and it cannot be otherwise. Hehimself will come to see this in time. ThoRepublicans will solicit the votes of thenegroes to keep their party in power, butthey will not share with them tho spoilsof office, or treat them otherwise thaDmenials and inferiors. The negroes willsee this, and will withdraw their supportfrom the Radicals, and will set up in apolitical way for themselves. But theywill ultimately find how futile are all theirefforts in that direction. Disappointmentand discontent will ensue, if not actualstrife between the races.asBut let us casta veil over this view of our subject—"sufficient unto the day is tho evil thereof.'*But such reflections will obtrude themselves upon all thoughtful minds, andnot to he ignored. In tho event ofof races—a thing not. the least improbable—the blacks would he forced from thecountry, hut their oxodus would bothrough blood. Muoh more preferablowould it be in peace and amity.The very corner-stone of a Republio istho virtue and intelligence of the people.How preposterous it is, then, to olotheigDorant and semibarbarous race with theelective franchise, most of whom cannotread a word upon the ticket they vote andarc too stupid to understand what theyare voting for. It iB without a parallel inthe history of the world, and is enough tobring the blush of shame to the cheeks ofall who cherish a proper pride for theircountry. It could only have been achieved by the wildest spirit of faction and themost reckless partizanship. Returningreason, it is to be hoped, will corret thispartisan insanity, and present onr countryto the world again " clothed and in herright mind." But this "consummationarea waranmost devoutly to bo wishod," awaits thereturn of the Democratic party to power.It will yet be the pleasure and the prideof that party to -cleanse the Augean stableof Radieal corruption and misrule, and torestore our government to its pristine purity. May the good genius of our Republic speed tho day.Fkdbral Interferbncb in Elections.—Things are coming to a pretty pass, inthis country, when tho minions of Federalpower maroh an armed aoldiery to thepolls, to interfere in the elections. Thiswas done by U. S. Marshal Gregory, inPhildelphia on Tuosday. A detachmentof United States Marines, with fixed bayonets and guns loaded with ball oartridge,took possession of the Fifth Ward polls,and tho eleotion progressed under thesurveillanoo of these Federal troops. Whatmore dastardly usurpation oould LouisNapoleon have been guilty of, (when holding his elections under tho power of hisbayonots,) than this? This act of military interferenoo waB in direct confliot withthe 4th article of the Constitution of theUnited States, hut in accordance with whatis called a law of Congress, end known astho' infamous Enforcement Aot. Here isFederal authority not only in oonfliot withmunicipal and state authority, hut actually in oonfliot with itself J No wonder thopeople were greatly exoited. A crowdsurrounded the Marines, and there wasdanger that they would be seized and disarmed. As they marched through thestreets, on their return to their quarters,they were hooted by the excited populaoo.Tho day of the general olection in thisState is tho " Tuesday noxt after the firstMonday in November" which this yearfalls on the 8th of November. This timewas fixed by an amendment to tho constitution adoptod in the year 1855.The fall mooting of tho Peninsular FruitGrowers' Association will be held in theStato House, Dover, on Tuosday, the 18thinst. at 2 o'clock.It is »aid that Messrs. Stockley, Bcswiek, Hobson and Cooper, have withdrawnfrom the independent ticket in KeDt.LOCAL AND STATE AFFAIRS.Fine Potatoes.—M r. Andrew Eliason, of St.Georges Hundred, brought us a large sweet potato, on Saturday last, which weighed four lbs.The produet of one vine weighed 7j lbs. Theywere of the Nansemond variety, and were obtained from Henry Clayton, Esq.W. O. Green, residing near Warwick, Md.brought to this office on Thursday, a sweet potatoof the White Spanish variety, weighing 3 lbs.We published, last week, an account from theDenton Union, of a sweet potato which weighed> pounds, with a challenge to every countythe peninsula to beat it. New Castle countyhas beaten it. Mr. Gideon E. Rothwell, of Appoquinimink Hundred, sent to this office, onTuesday, a sweet potAto which weighed six lbs.lacking three ounces. From ono vine the product weighed 9 lbs. 2 ounces.Larger Still. —A correspondent at Kennedyville, Kent county, Md. informs us that he recently visited the neighborhood of Wye Mills, QueenAnne's county, Md. where Mr. J. C. Hopkins residing on the farm of the late Jacob Richardson,has raised ten sweet potatoes, this season, whichweigh 60 lbs. an average of 6 lbs. apiece. QueenAnnes is, thus far, ahead.More Burglars Tooiæ Discovirbd. —On Saturday evening last, while Mr. R. H. Foster,the Town Commissioners, was repairing a bridge,a few rods west of the Railroad, he discoveredunder the bridge, securely wrapped up in paper,the following tools supposed to have been deposited there by burglars at the time of their entryof the Bank :—Two small saws, one a key-holesaw ; two cold-chisels ; two drills ; 24 wedgesone steel crowbar ; one large copper hammer ;the remnants of a horse-blanket, and two pairsof new gum shoes. Sometime after the burglaryMr. John McLcary discovered a bag containinga number of such implements. It bad been hidden under a pile of railroad ties, near bis houseThe burglars evidently came well provided withtools, and they no doubt intended to clean theBank out. But a lady in the next house happening to bear a noise, lit a lamp, aud thus savedthe money safe from their depredations.St. Ann's. —Subscriptions for a fund to erectnew Church edifice in Middletown, are about tobe solicited by those clothed with authority fromthe Church to do so.
